Prioritize your Succession Planning Program Today

At RHR International, we understand that leadership transitions can make or break an organization’s momentum. That’s why we offer The Executive Bench™ — our comprehensive succession planning solution that helps your organization prepare for change, reduce disruption, and support long-term growth.

 

What Is the Executive Bench™?

The Executive Bench™ is RHR’s approach to succession planning. It ensures your business has a strong pipeline of talent ready to step into critical leadership roles when needed. Whether you are navigating a CEO transition or building leadership capacity for the future, our process gives you confidence that the right people will be ready at the right time.

Our method is anchored in four key components:

  1. Organizational Context: We start by aligning with your business strategy and clarifying your leadership imperatives to ensure that succession planning supports your broader goals.
  2. Leadership Assessment: Through multirater, multimethod assessment protocols and our proprietary Readiness for Scale (RFS) model, we measure leaders’ potential to take on more complex, demanding roles.
  3. Succession Mapping: We conduct a comprehensive mapping of your current and future leadership needs, identifying where gaps exist and how they can be addressed.
  4. Coaching and Development: Our tailored coaching and development programs help accelerate readiness across leadership levels, preparing leaders to step up when needed.
